Zircon – Tiny But Timely
February 2007, Vol. 3, No. 1
Where would Earth science be without zircon? As Earth’s timekeeper, zircon has proven to be a remarkable and versatile mineral, providing insights into deep time and ancient Earth processes. However, there is still much to learn about Earth’s history from zircon and its behaviour. Zircon cannot be treated simply as a passive “safehouse” of stored isotopic and chemical information but must instead be interpreted carefully, in its petrological, mineralogical, and geological contexts, and in the light of all possible lines of evidence. Zircon has been a wonderful servant in our quest to unravel the history of the Earth—and has so much more to offer as we unlock the secrets of its chemical and physical responses to the processes operating in the Earth.

Phosphates And Global Sustainability, April 2008, Vol. 4, No. 2
$20.00Phosphorus is a unique element: it is essential to the existence of all living forms, and as such controls biological productivity in many terrestrial and marine environments; but when in excess, it leads to uncontrollable biological growth and water-quality problems. This has become a common environmental issue, resulting from our careless use of phosphorus in agriculture, yet phosphate ore deposits, from which fertilizers are produced, are a finite natural resource.
